I think viking777 wrote the answer to why while i where typing this. Something isn't updated.

Anyway I am alittle tired of this now and will let it rest for awhile. Maybe viking777 and mank_in are on the right track with the nouveau graphics driver, I don't know I am in way over my head on this aready long ago.

I don't know, I don't have much skill at all about this, I am just trying and guessing. However i did try choosing different mirror servers as you suggested, I tried both searching the best, and randomly chosing some, still the output of

For users who cannot update to Flash Player 11.2.202.228, Adobe has developed a patched version of Flash Player 10.3, Flash Player 10.3.183.18, which can be downloaded here.

From the adobe hompage archive section i found Flash Player 10.3.183.50 which I downloaded, extracted libflashplayer to a folder just so I could find it, then I did as meteorrock suggested, I used nautilus to move libflashplayer.so to user/lib/opera/plugins, (this was the only way I could move libflashplayer to this folder). And then I tried youtube... Guess what, flash now worked, for the first time ever! I have tried several flash sites, I also used the same method to move libflashplayer to the mozilla folder and now flash works in firefox also. Only problem I found so far is that the performance seems abit worse than when running flash on windows, can this be because of the older flashplayer?And will my computer now be taken over by evil hackers if I keep using this older flashversion?Can there be other better versions of flashplayer that could be worth trying for me?

squiesuie> I can't say for sure that this will help but I have seen many people report that it does. Worth a try???? While you have a flash player box playing (any version) (Youtube for eg.) You can r/click in the box and then select Settings... From there, untick Enable hardware acceleration. You may have to restart the browser(?). Sadly Windows gets all the attention from Adobe for flash when it comes to optimization, so on a low-end machine it will likely play better there. It may also be worth considering installing an add-on like Adblock Plus in Firefox (if you use it) as it will eliminate 90% of the unwanted flash objects from loading which may add to security and increase page loading speed.

I had the same problem on install. Tried all the suggestions here, and now have it working part time. I'tll work for awhile and then quit, or it won't work at all, or I can do a reboot and it will work, sporadically. Running on an MSI 760GM-E51 mobo, AMD 640 quad core processor, Nvidia 8400 video card, and 16 gig of DDR3. Have win 7, winXP, Mint 14.1, and Mint 11. on a 1.5 TB HD.

Harryit seems that yours is a different kind of problem: the OP has a somewhat legacy hardware and that is (as far as we could see here) the main problem with flash (specially the graphics card); i'm not expecting that your hardware shows the same limitations.you should open a new topic as clearly the causes are other.
